Day Twenty-Five.

A plaque describing the Victory Gate of Vientiane read:

"At the northeastern end of the LaneXang Ave arises a huge structure resembling the Arc de Triomphe.

It is the Patuxay or Victory Gate of Vientiane, built in 1962 (B.E 2505), but never complete due to the country's turbulent history. From a closer distance, it appears even less impressive, like a monster of concrete.

Nowadays this place is used as leisure ground for the people of Vientiane and the seventh floor on top of the building serves as excellent view point over the city.
